Liquitex Fabric Medium 118ml
By Liquitex
What it does
- Enhances blending and workability of acrylics on textiles and unprimed canvas
- Improves adhesion and colour penetration
- Improves flexibility and reduces dry paint stiffness
- Controls colour bleeding
- Lowers viscosity of heavier body paints, giving increased flow
- Gives a consistently even, smooth application
- Improves wet-on-wet blending
- Extends your colour further without affecting acrylic stability
- Doesn't require heat setting
- Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality
- Can be machine or hand-washed once dry
How to use it
- Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
- For best results mix in a 1:1 ratio with Soft Body Acrylic, add more if using - Heavy Body to get your desired consistency
- For watercolour effects use 5 parts medium to 1 part Soft Body
- Stir gently to avoid creating foam - if bubbles appear, leave it to sit while the bubbles rise and disappear
- Paint on with brush, roller etc, using a thin layer to avoid cracking
- Can be added directly to textile when paint is still wet to blend colour
- No need to iron to set
How not to use it
- Do not shake or vigorously over-brush as this can result in a foggy, hazy look when dry
- Do not use with any non-acrylic media
- The thicker you apply it, the less flexible it becomes
